Im just about done here. I've tried configuring all the settings and performing all the tests I've read about and my results have been the same...
ERROR/CRASH
My most recent configuration was:
FSB 333
Vcore 2.2625
RAM: DDR2 667 1:1 5-5-5-15 2.0V
Hyperpath 3 disabled
PCI-e set to 100
PCI Clock Synchronization 33:33
I initially thought my problems might have been stemming from my RAM so I ran memtest for 12hrs with no errors.
I then began running the Prime 95 tests. I first ran the combination tests which had temps around the high 50's. It ran for about 8hrs then produced an error report.
I bumped up Vcore and ran again...an error after a couple hours.
I changed vcore to auto and ran the small fft test. The temps were hung at about high 50's/low 60's. It shut down at around the 1hr mark.
My most recent was running small fft test in Prime95 with 2.2625 Vcore, Hyper 3 disabled and all the same settings mentioned above.
I got a shutdown in a little over an hour. The temps were around mid-high 60's
Im grasping at straws here guys. Does an end-all solution exist for my set up? Im just about ready to give up on over clocking here. Its a brand new q6600. I see posts from people who are running stable at well above 333 here and Im wondering what the hell Im doing wrong and if the 25% increase is even worth it at this point.
Like I said before, I run this PC for strictly DAW purposes and this has been the most unproductive, creativity-killing waste of time.
t_ski, Larry-is it worth trying for 333 or higher anymore or has this board been a waste of $ in re: to over clocking?
